Johannesburg - Cosatu has also come out to confirm that it received money from the R1 billion fund used to canvass ahead of the 2017 ANC’s Nasrec conference.

Speaking to Newzroom Afrika on Monday, Ntshalintshali did not say what the money was used for. “The money we received was never secret, we discussed it in our central executive committee when we said we can’t use workers money which we don’t have. For this campaign, we must seek funding which we did. So, it was never a secret when it comes out, for us it was a non-issue,” he said.

Ntshavheni, who was the campaign co-ordinator in Limpopo, also allegedly gave local ANC leaders a quarter of the R6000 allocated per branch to help sway members in Ramaphosa’s favour during the branch general meetings held before the Nasrec conference. The letter was not signed and had no contact details, making it appear as if it was a malicious attempt to further milk the scandal and further divide Ramaphosa’s fervent supporters.
